CARBOLIC ACID VERSUS NICOTINE 

 AS AN INSECTICIDE. 

 Nicotine has been known as a valu- 

 able insecticide for controlling soft- 

 bodied sucking insects for a number 

 of years, but the expense of preparing 

 this material has been advancing at 

 such a rate of late years that growers 

 of fruit, flowers and vegetables have 

 anxiously been looking for some sub- 

 stitute that is equally efficient and can 

 be used without injury to tender plants 

 and flowers. 



The average person knows the 

 deadly effect of carbolic acid when 

 applied to almost any kind of life. 

 However, after years of experiment, 

 carbolic acid is now free treated in 

 such a manner that it will (when com- 

 bined with sulphur and fish oil) con- 

 trol all insect life that nicotine will, 

 and then some more — without the 

 least bit of injury to the most tender 

 foliage, .flowers, fruit or vegetables — 

 while the sulphur acts as a fungicide 

 and the oil a spreader for both, and 

 the cost of such a preparation, known 

 under the registered trade name of 

 Sulco-V. B., is reasonable for the pur- 

 poses mentioned. 



Trees and plants cannot tell you of 

 their sufferings, caused by scale in- 

 sects, plant lice and the parasitic can- 

 cerous growths of fungus diseases. 

 Therefore, you must attend to their 

 relief immediately, as they cannot re- 

 lieve themselves. They suffer patient- 

 ly, often unknown and uncared for. 



Yet, you wonder why they don't 

 flourish in foliage, flowers and fruit. 



How can they? When the insects 

 and fungus diseases are sucking the 

 life juices (plant blood) almost as fast 

 as the chemical laboratories of the 

 root system can produce them. 



You can talk. You can see. You 

 must act. Examine your trees and 

 plants carefully and regularly — spray 

 them thoroughly, repeating the oper- 

 ation until you have freed them from 

 the pests, and note the improvement 

 in health and vigor and production.
